Reports Report 3786af (Event 3786-2024)

Observer
Name Glenda H
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks I’ve seen several meteors before so I’m familiar with them this one I definitely wasn’t expecting. It lit up the whole sky when it came down. It disappeared behind a hill and trees from my point of view towards the horizon. Since we are going through Perseids meteor shower right now I’m not surprised.
